The Different Housing Typologies

The typology of a dwelling refers to its classification based on characteristics such as internal layout, number of rooms, distribution of spaces, among other factors.

For instance, the designation T1 indicates that the dwelling has a “T” for typology and “1” refers to the number of bedrooms or rooms.

Legislation and Housing Typology

OThe term T(n) appears to have its origins in the General Regulation of Urban Buildings, Decree-Law No. 38382, dated August 7, 1951, later revised by Decree-Law No. 650/75 of 1975.

In this context, we find the following reference:

The type of dwelling is determined by the number of bedrooms, using the symbol T(subscript x) for its identification, where x represents the number of bedrooms.
Article 66 – 1 includes a table clarifying the restrictions imposed on housing compartments, which must meet minimum requirements for number and area.
